Ummmm yeah... As such, I'm going to put my toe in, test the waters, then get the rest of my foot wet... I'm looking for some friendly advise, guidance, and to learn from other peoples mistakes. + I am still building all my bumpers and right now my jeep is a little "Exposed" with no armor/bumpers.

I am in on Saturday, but I'll be being cautious.

Shouldn't be a problem. You will need to air down to single digits to get through but this is not a difficult trail that will cause damage.

Just checked your profile....F/R ARBs, Toyo's and a winch, you'll be helping me pull Wes through

No reason to be worried or nervous man. Looks like there will be plenty of rigs and experience to keep things going smoothly. Snow wheeling is fun, the lack of traction is great when it comes to not breaking shit. I'm looking forward to this, I havent snow wheeled since I left Kodiak.

If its OK?
I might try to make this run.
I am a complete newbie to this.

I drive a 2012 rubicon on 37's with a winch, strap, high lift, shovels, basic stuff.
I don't have a CB or on board air.

I read about airing down.
I have all the tools necessary to air down the tires.
Haha.

Its the airing up part I have a problem with.
Is that a problem?
Just run to the nearest gas station?
Or borrow air from someone with a compressor?

What do you guys usually do?

Thumbs up

If you show up, we'll have you sorted!

Actually with all you "big wheel roller's", I'll have a nicely plowed trail to follow on!
